Chapter 10: The Turbulent Struggle for Power

  Lin Heng's trip was extremely confidential, and apart from his family members, no one else knew about it.

  Nowadays, even if it's thousands of miles away, there's no need for secrecy. He said I have something to retrieve from Shoujing Mountain.

  The hidden ancestral temple is located within the vast and winding Shoujing mountain range. This was the approximate location that Lin had been aware of, and it was also the destination of this trip.

  Mr. Liangwan was delighted and said: "We are just passing by from nearby, if you don't mind, why not keep each other company?"

  Lin Heng naturally couldn't get it, he urged the release of nine volumes of Tian Tian Bo, although the speed was not inferior to the Four Wings Tian Zhou... "But after all, it's a long and arduous journey, exhausting mentally and physically. Now that you can catch up with Tian Zhou... "How could there be any courtesy?"

  He immediately said that Lin was very grateful...

  Mr. Wan laughed and said, "Where, where? The journey is lonely, I wish there were more companions like you who are interesting."

  Mr. Wan, have you ever heard of Di Yin Zong Shu?

  Duobao Hall, hunting all over the world, this person in front of him is also a shopkeeper-level figure, Lin Heng happens to ask him about Di Yin Sect.

  Mr. Liang was slightly surprised: "You want to go to Tiandu Temple?"

  Lin Heng didn't hide anything and nodded, saying that he had been entrusted by someone, so he went to take care of some things.

  Wei Yingzong and Qili Gou were separated by the vast distance between north and south, yet Lin Huan, a person who had never left his hometown before, traveled thousands of miles to this unfamiliar land.

  He can't guess the reason, you'd better ask the person involved. This may be unknown to others, but I'm quite clear about it.

  Lin Heng made a gesture of leaning in to listen and said, "It's hard on you, Mr. Wan, but please tell me about it."

  The Shoujing Mountains were near the border of the wilderness, but deep in the mountains, there was a dense spiritual energy, and within the mountain range, there were more than a dozen large and small sects scattered about. The Ti Yin Sect was originally a mid-sized sect, but because... it had always refused to be affiliated with the great sect of Xuan Tian, and for decades, it had suffered from Xuan Tian's oppression. The leader of the Ti Yin Sect, Xie Ping, was a capable person, and in such a harsh environment, he had managed to make this rootless and branchless sect grow stronger day by day.

  Six years ago, the sect master Xie Ping was attacked by an unknown person and his divine consciousness collapsed, losing all his cultivation. Since then, he has been in seclusion in a secret place of the Tiwei Sect, and the affairs of the sect have been handled by the elder Yang Desong. He closed himself off and there has been no news from him since.

  Lin Hang heard the divine sense of heaven and earth, four words, and knew that this sect master Xie Ping was a strong person above the fifth grade. Only strong people of the fifth grade can evolve from the divine sense sea to the divine sense heaven and earth. Lin Hang couldn't help but feel full of longing, when will I be able to merge the four potential vortexes, step into the fifth grade, and evolve my divine sense sea into a divine sense heaven and earth, ah...

  It didn't matter at first, but three years ago, the elder Yang Desong suddenly said he wanted to surrender to Xuantian Sect and become its affiliate. However, the young master of Tuiyin Sect, who was also Xie Ping's son Xie Li, refused, thinking it went against his father Xie Ping's beliefs. Therefore, with the help of the younger generation of the Pao Si Gang, they strongly opposed it. As a result, although Tuiyin Sect is still nominally a sect, it has already split into two factions.

  Lin Heng was shocked and didn't know what to do. His adoptive father, Zhang, had entrusted him with the task of handing over the things to the current master of the Zongmen sect, but he didn't know who that person was.

  He had thought of every possible outcome, but never anticipated such a difficult problem.

  As soon as the package is revealed, I'm afraid the two of them will immediately fight... damn it, my luck is really bad. Patriarch Zong, the sect leader has been in seclusion for who knows how many years, do I have to wait there for decades until he appears?

  Lin's head also grew bigger, and this sudden change made things extremely tricky.

  Mr. Liangwan saw that he was frowning deeply and didn't ask him, after all, it concerned his secret, if Lin didn't take the initiative to mention it, he couldn't pry either.

  Will the mighty Xuantian Sect, which has been watching from the sidelines, really not intervene in this internal strife?

  Mr. Twenty Thousand said that nature took its course, and now Xie Li's younger faction was gradually weakening, and it was already precarious. It is said that recently, the mysterious sect will hold a ceremony to join the Xuantian Sect, formally becoming an affiliate of the Xuantian Sect. If my guess is correct, Elder Yang Desong will unite with the Xuantian Sect to take advantage of the opportunity to get rid of Xie Li.

  Lin Heng, although lacking in knowledge, also knew that joining a large sect as an affiliate would bring protection from the other party, but every year they would have to pay a huge amount of tribute. Moreover, once joined, it would be extremely difficult to leave afterwards. Therefore, unless faced with extreme circumstances, no one would attach themselves to another sect.

  Three months have passed, and roughly calculated, I've traveled almost half of the journey.

  Apart from Mr. Twenty Thousand, Lin Heng and two other powerful guards also got familiar with each other, one was called Tie Er and the other was called Tie San, both were late-stage three-product cultivators.

  The only thing that annoyed Lin Huan was that Wu Zhong's goods were still facing upwards, and he didn't even bother to pay attention to him. Mr. Twenty Thousand was a versatile person, and Lin Huan had followed him for more than two months, listening and reading extensively, greatly enriching his knowledge.

  That day, the Four-Winged Ark descended onto a city called Qingpu City for replenishment.

  Four-winged sky ark, a luxury for the wealthy, with storage crystal stones inlaid on it, which can hold two months' worth of living supplies inside.

  Lin Heng followed afterwards and had experienced a replenishment before, so he wasn't curious this time either.

  After days and nights of continuous travel, there are still about two months to the Shou Jing mountain range. After this replenishment, the next replenishment should not be far from his destination. In other words, after the next landing, Lin Heng will have to bid farewell to Mr. 20,000.

  In the Four-Winged Ark, staying for two months was dull and boring. Taking this opportunity, all four of them went out to stroll around the city to get some fresh air.

  Lin Huan wandered alone on the main street for half a day, and saw a two-story wine house called Ya'an, so he went up to have lunch. The four-winged Tianzhou, because there was no firewood, usually only swallowed dry rations and dried meat, and his mouth had been hungry for two months, he wanted to indulge in a big feast to satisfy his hunger.

  It is said that the Xuantian Sect will form an alliance with the Qingyuxian Realm through marriage, and their outstanding disciple Chen Peng will propose to Du Meier of the Qingyu Xian Realm. This Du Meier is said to be a beauty with a stunning face, and her cultivation has reached the third rank.

  Xuantian Sect isn't it said that three months later, the true transmission disciples will have a side trial? Chen Peng is one of the most likely to be selected. If he can marry Du Mei'er, he will definitely become the top pillar of Xuantian Sect in the future.

  Lin Heng was delighted, and all he heard were rumors about the Xuantian Sect. He suddenly came to his senses, unaware that he had already entered the territory of the Xuantian Sect, one of the three major sects in the Han State.

  As for Xuantian Sect, he had nothing to do with it, just listening to the story.

  What's going on here? I'll tell you some latest news, but don't leak it out. Next to us, a burly man with an air of mystery and profundity, spoke in a hushed tone as if he had some explosive insider information.

  Ninth brother, what inside story are you going to tell us? We promise to keep it confidential.

  "Right, right, whoever spreads it is a bastard..."

  A group of people were drawn in by him, and their interest was piqued, so they immediately quieted down to listen to his gossip.

  Dahan glanced around cautiously, like an intelligence agent, trying to convey the gravity and mystery of the news. He spoke in a low voice, "I'm telling you, the Xuantian Sect and their neighboring Jueyin Sect have broken out into conflict, mobilizing large numbers of disciples from both sects, saying they want to annihilate the Wuyin Sect..."

  Wei Yin Sect is not a small sect, they also dare to provoke Xuan Tian Sect.

  You don't know this, but it's said that a pair of siblings from the Yi Yin Sect killed an important disciple of the Xuan Tian Sect. This pair of siblings are the children of the former sect master Xie Ping, and if the Yi Yin Sect doesn't hand them over, they will face a full-scale attack from the Xuan Tian Sect.

  Nothing else mattered, but when he heard news about the Yi Hui Sect, Lin Fan subconsciously perked up his ears.

  It is generally believed that this was a conspiracy between the Yang De Song, the Grand Elder of the Tiande Sect, and the Pu Tian Sect, both inside and outside, to deal with the young master of the Zhu Sha Sect, Xie Li.

  Lin Heng had never been enthusiastic about interfering in the internal affairs of the Veiled Sect. He just wanted to complete his task, get the reward promised by the sect master Xie Pingying, and then leave with a pat on the back. However, for some reason, upon hearing this news, he felt a strong aversion to Yang Desong, the great elder whom he had never met before.

  Regardless of whether the annexation of Xuantian Sect is correct, colluding with external forces to interfere with internal affairs and eliminate dissidents is despicable.

  The Tiande Sect will definitely be destroyed... With the strength of the Xuantian Sect, even ten Tiande Sects can be flattened. Alas, it's really pitiful for the young master and mistress of the Shaodian Sect to have offended the Xuantian Sect.

  At this moment, there was a commotion outside the street.

  What a big nerve, actually spreading rumors on our Xuantian Sect's turf.

  Lin Heng raised his eyes and saw two martial artists chasing and fighting each other for some unknown reason.

  The one who was shouting loudly was a young man wearing a light green shirt, and his opponent was a thin man.

  "Humph, what about the Xuantian Sect? What right do they have to stop people from speaking? I'll make sure everyone knows about the Xuantian Sect's shameful deeds!" The thin man retorted and cursed.

  From a boundary perspective, the young man from Xuantian Sect is at the mid-term cultivation of Grade 2, while the thin one is at the initial stage of Grade 2, so the thin one is in a situation where he can't fight back.

  Everyone come and listen to the ugly affairs of Xuantian Sect! These hypocrites, in order to seize power for their own sect, colluded with the elders of Tuiyin Sect, secretly harmed the young master of Tuiyin Sect, and usurped the throne. The thin man spat out saliva, loudly saying.

  That young man's moves are getting more and more ruthless. You dare to slander our Xuantian Sect? Today, I represent the Xuantian Sect to take your dog life...” I, Li Zhan, am upright and unafraid of you, a sinister little person... You can cover up one person's mouth, but you cannot cover up the mouths of all people under heaven...” Li Zhan cursed loudly at you bunch of treacherous dogs, doing all sorts of evil deeds, with a hypocritical appearance, but justice will be served and you will definitely be punished.

  Before he could finish speaking, a young man punched him and he flew towards Lin Huan like a broken kite.

  That young man suddenly rose to kill, and with a swift step, before Li Zhen's body had even hit the ground, he arrived, his eyes revealing evil poison. "You have a vicious heart, spreading rumors, destroying the reputation of my Xuantian Sect! Today, I will behead you in broad daylight as an example to all..."

  As soon as he finished speaking, a large hand grasped, and the energy fluctuated. A shadowy big hand directly dug into Li Zhen's heart.

  Li Zhen's own cultivation was far inferior to his, and being heavily struck by him caused his heart's blood to churn. This strike was fundamentally impossible to dodge.

  He closed his eyes, waiting for the arrival of annihilation.

  "Detestable Xuantian Sect, why on earth did Heaven not have eyes and let this vicious wolf be so arrogant..." He sighed inwardly, filled with indignation...

  At this moment, a white light suddenly shot out.

  "Ah yo" The young man's shadowy figure had his hand knocked down, and his hand was also hit by a hidden weapon.

  Young man suddenly furious: "Who is that blind fool who dares to plot against your grandfather?"

  He fixed his eyes on the dark object and suddenly it was a chopstick. His line of sight immediately shifted to the second floor of the wine building, and then fell on Lin Heng's body.

  "Ah, so it's you, this blind fool, hiding in the dark and ambushing your own father. I'll take care of this skinny guy first, then deal with you..." As soon as he finished speaking, his footsteps quickened, and his figure appeared beside Li Zhan, unleashing two powerful blows.

  Another white light flashed out, Ah Yo" The energy of the seal collapsed instantly, and the young man's wrist was hit again.

  At this moment, everyone's eyes fell on Lin Fang, who was standing by the window.

  What kind of person is this, daring to harm someone from the Xuantian Sect?

  Young man publicly exposed his ugliness, shame and anger intertwined. He simply ignored the thin man, his body like a magpie taking off, rushing straight into the forest. "You dare to hit me... Do you know that I am the newly selected personal disciple of Xuantian Sect? I want you to die on the spot..."

  His hand somehow had an extra stick-like object that was neither a staff nor a club.

  With his full force in one blow, the sound whizzed, the momentum was magnificent, and the energy that filled the sky shattered the carved flower windows of the wine building into pieces...

  "This is the second-grade martial skill 'Sweeping Mountain and Overturning Sea' I just obtained from the Scripture Pavilion. Even if it's a late-stage second-grade, it can still kill... Among all the newly admitted personal disciples of Xuantian Sect, only I, Zhan DeYong, have obtained it... You still dare to be arrogant in front of me? I'll make your flesh and blood fly apart and turn you into minced meat..."

  Zhan De-yong gritted his teeth, his face twisted in a malevolent grin... His overwhelming power descended upon Lin Huan, causing the onlookers to gasp in shock. For if nothing unexpected happened, the next scene would be Lin Huan being blown up, with blood and flesh splattering everywhere.

  "Get out!" With just one shout from Lin, a palm appeared in the sky, instantly dispersing the overwhelming energy, and then directly slapped Zhan DeYong flying out of mid-air.

  When he got up with a shocked face, his cheek had swollen to the size of a pig's head, and his front teeth were gone.

  You just wait, he finally realized that he had encountered a powerful opponent, who could easily slap his strongest killing move and severely slap him in the face. He was absolutely a super strong man. With his martial arts skills, he naturally couldn't afford to provoke him. But he was an inner disciple of the Xuantian Sect, the local master, and he pointed at Lin Yang and said: "You have the ability to wait, relying on this ability, you dare to insult my Xuantian Sect, beat up my Xuantian Sect's inner disciple... You've brought upon yourself a great calamity... I'll go report to Guanlin Shizi and Fei Chenpeng Shixiong, and they will severely punish this wicked person.

  After finishing speaking, he picked up his weapon which had flown far away and flew away with a kick.

  With his martial arts skills, he wouldn't normally provoke anyone. But he is an inner disciple of the Xuantian Sect and the master of this place. He pointed at Lin Heng and said, "You have some skill, you wait and see. With this little skill of yours, you dare to insult the Xuantian Sect and beat up our inner sect disciples? You've brought upon yourself a calamity of epic proportions... I'll go report this to Shifu Guanlin and Shixiong Fei Chenpeng, and have you, this evil person, severely punished.

  After finishing speaking, he picked up his weapon which had flown far away and flew away with a kick.

  Lin Heng is too lazy to deal with this kind of person. Anyway, the other party doesn't know him, and if they have the ability, they can find him themselves.
